About Lucky da Dhaba, Ballygunge, Kolkata
As it is regional cuisines get a miss in comparison to global cuisines as world gastronomy is much more accessible to us but a true foodie is aware of his surroundings and likes to dabble in various cuisines no matter how outlandish. Increase your culinary knowledge by savouring some regional Indian fare especially Bengali food, which has a huge fan base in India. One might think Kolkata, which is the home ground of Bengali cuisine, should have a plethora of Bengali restaurants but it is not so. There is surprisingly shortage of traditional regional eateries in the city, however, to take care of that ?Bohemian? has come to save the day. This wonderful charming eatery deals exclusively in Bengali food and is located in Old Ballygunge. This place has done a lot to change the gastronomic scenario of Kolkata.
Genius of celebrated Chef Joy Banerjee, Bohemian is like a breath of fresh air in Kolkata?s fine dining circuit. The menu is unconventional and gives the diners no complaint in terms of creativity. There is a lot on offer and even after multiple trips to Bohemian, there will be something left to explore. The Bengali part of the menu gives some space to Continental fare as well, leaning heavily on seafood preparations. Food comes across as fusion of both these cuisines. Get straight into the menu with the appetizers like, banana stem patties, chili pickle n cheese baked crab, daab chingri dynamites, grilled cheesey mushrooms in aam kashundi marinade, mutton wraps and royal Bengal sliced pork fry. Dig in further with, chital meat steak with fenugreek jus, chicken supreme, sliced pork in banana leaf envelopes, kancha lanka mangsho, pork vindaloo and prawns with smoky orange.
The menu is simply divine and unlike anything you have ever seen before. The variety is immense which keeps you interested until next visit. Even Bohemian?s dessert section sees some of chef?s brilliant touch by combining the earthiness of Bengali sweets with finesse of Continental concoctions. Mustard & tender coconut mousse, aamarel custard, pantua baked Alaska and darjeeling tea & ?gold flake? panna cotta are some of their must haves. Enter Bohemian?s rather simply decorated dining space and take in the bright yellow walls and string of colourful paper lanterns overhead. All the focus at innovation is put in the food where it counts. Bohemian comes off a bit pricey but that?s the price one has to pay for brilliance.
